'''Manasses''' or '''Manasseh''' ({{IPAc-en|m|ə|ˈ|n|æ|s|ə}};<ref>[https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/pronunciation?lang=eng churchofjesuschrist.org: "Book of Mormon Pronunciation Guide"] (retrieved 2012-02-25), [[Wikipedia:IPA for English|IPA]]-ified from «ma-năs´a»</ref> {{Lang-he|מְנַשֶּׁה}}, ''Mənaše'') is a [[biblical Hebrew]] name for men. It is the given name of seven people of the Bible, the name of a tribe of Israel, and the name of one of the apocryphal writings. The name is also used in the modern world.<br />
<br />
==Biblical individuals==<br />
===Son of Joseph===<br />
[[Manasseh (tribal patriarch)|Manasses]]{{efn|{{lang-he|מנשה}}; [[Septuagint]]: ''Manassê''; c. 2nd millennium BC}} was the eldest son of [[Joseph (Hebrew Bible)|Joseph]] and the Egyptian [[Asenath]] (Genesis 41:50-51; 46:20). The name means "he that causes to forget"; Joseph assigned the reason for its bestowal: "God hath made me to forget all my toils, and my father's house" (Genesis 41:51). Jacob blessed Manasses (Genesis 48); but gave preference to the younger son [[Ephraim]], despite the father's protestations in favour of Manasses. By this blessing, Jacob put Manasses and Ephraim in the same class with [[Reuben (Bible)|Ruben]] and [[Simeon (Hebrew Bible)|Simeon]] (verses 3-5), and gave foundation for the admission of the tribes of Manasses and Ephraim.<br />
<br />
===Husband of Judith===<br />
Manasses, [[Judith]]'s husband, died of [[sunstroke]] in [[Bethulia]] (Judith 8:2-3).<br />
<br />
===''Story of Ahikar''===<br />
Manasses was a character in the ''[[Story of Ahikar]]'' (not in [[Vulgata]], but in Septuagint) told by [[Book of Tobit|Tobit]] on the point of death. The [[Vatican Manuscript]] mentions Manasses (''Manassês'') as one "who gave alms and escaped the snare of death". The [[Sinaitic Manuscript]] mentions no one, but clearly refers the almsgiving and escape to Achiacharus (Ahikar). The reading of the Vatican Manuscript may be an error.<br />
<br />
===Sons of Ezra's companions===<br />
Manasses was a son of [[Bani (biblical figure)|Bani]], one of the companions of [[Esdras]] who married foreign wives (Ezra 10:30).<br />
<br />
Another Manasses was the son of [[Hasom]], another of the same companions of Esdras (Ezra 10:33).<br />
<br />
===Ancestor of Jonathan===<br />
Manasses (according to ''[[Kethibh|k’thibh]]'' of [[Massoretic Text]] and Septuagint) was ancestor of [[Jonathan (Judges)|Jonathan]], a priest of the [[tribe of Dan]] (Judges 18:30). The Vulgate and ''k’ri'' of the Massoretic Text give [[Moses]], the correct reading.<br />
<br />
===King of Judah===<br />
[[Manasseh of Judah|Manasseh]] was the thirteenth [[King of Judah]], and son and successor to [[Hezekiah]] ([[2 Kings]] 20:21 sq.).<br />
